The Bold and The Determined

Two sides of the Superhero Coin

The Bold and The Determined!

This campaign re-starts January 16th.

It is modern day, but seventeen years ago actual superheroes appeared. The Guardian Incident was the first massively public confrontation between a superhero and a supervillain. Since that event, more heroes have stepped out of the twilight and into the full light of day and there is intense public discussion about them. Some aren’t certain that they are a better solution that just hiring more police, some believe the police cannot handle everything and the superheroes are necessary. No one denies that metahumans exist anymore, they just aren’t entirely certain why and what should be done about it.

Two years ago, the Cape-KRAKEN War, between superheroes of the Mid-Atlantic States and the criminal agency KRAKEN, erupted in bloodshed, with deaths on both sides. KRAKEN was defeated and they and their allies in organized crime were jailed, but damage was also done to the public faith in superheroes.

This revived campaign concentrates on the superhero team, SABRE, patrolling Capital City, Maryland, a city with a long-but-hidden history of corruption. The group “fights the good fight” and does their best to put a good foot forward for superheroes everywhere (or at least get some really good press coverage to start their celebrity careers). These are the bright and shiny heroes (at least in front of the cameras), forged into a team by a man with the money to fund the project and a dream to do good.
